    Kings Chambers continues to offer market-leading expertise in a wide range of licensing cases. Barristers at the set are highly experienced in both taxi and alcohol licensing cases and regularly deal with highly contentious licensing appeals. Members are instructed by both licensees and local governments. Members recently acted in Shaun Marnell v Wirral Council, a dispute regarding the public sector equality duty in which the appellant sought to be licensed without providing wheelchair accessibility.

    An interviewee comments: "The set has handled complex matters with professionalism and flair and has been able to grasp the nuances of each case effortlessly."

    Jake Brooke leads the clerking.
